Summary

Actor Mark Hamill posted an AI-generated image depicting Donald Trump deceased in a grave with the caption ‘If Only,’ alongside text expressing hope for Trump’s political downfall. The White House Rapid Response 47 account on X responded by criticizing Hamill as a ‘sick individual’ and accusing him of contributing to rhetoric linked to assassination attempts. Hamill subsequently amended his post to remove the AI image and replace it with a different picture, issuing an apology for the inappropriate content.
